Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

Episode 101: Sneaking Shadows

Along the streets where the sun began to set, the Uld wagon convoy was preparing for the camp.

"I'm ready for bed!

"It's time for dinner, too!

The children of the village are accustomed to the hand and are ready for the night camp. Growing up in a self-sufficient village, they were also good at outdoor activities.

Before the sun sets, surround the burning fire and it will be dinner time for everyone.

"Yes, Sildria. Rice, please!

"It's called mushroom rice cooking! Delicious!"

"Yes, I made it by simmering the Inahon fruit!

"Well, that's not a big deal, kids."

Sildria is impressed as she mouths the meal of the wood dish offered. Being the Imperial Empress, she has never eaten along such streets before.

But he has a heartfelt grin with his mouth full of handmade rice cooking.

"I also thought when I was eating in the village, this Inahon fruit would be really excellent. Belly and productivity are not the same as wheat."

After eating her meal, Sildria is impressed as she looks at the other children.

As the words put it, Inahon was many times more productive than the grains that were traditionally found on the continent.

Rice has many parts that are better than wheat. That proves that the Asian area of rice food had a larger medieval population than the European area, where wheat was also the staple food in the history of the planet.

Grain inaphones, very similar to rice, are only grown in the villages of Uld. Sildria, who had been educated in brilliance as a ruler, was discerning the strength of Inahon's power as a grain.

"Uh, you're full!

"Everybody have a 'welcome'!

"Yes, yes, thank you!

At some point, the children are finishing their meals.

For them who grew up, more meals were allotted. Still, not long ago, all the pots with the rice cooking were empty.

"Uh, you don't have a replacement for me, do you?

"Rack's Odysan is guzzling."

"Yes, don't be alarmed."

As always, the Player Rack and the kids are close.

Rack, who looked suspicious when he decided to go to the Sacred Capital, is back to being a bright player, as usual.

Unlike the previous journey, so much so that Elsa, the seller's woman, is accompanied. Rack was the same.

Probably blow something off and already decide to be ready. A man with no grasp, but I trusted him around.

"All right, it's time. Get ready for bed."

"Uh, I still want to play!

"But as early as tomorrow, you have no choice!

That's how tonight's camp was, it was over.

After that, just focus on the carriage and sleep on your own bunk. Set up alternate watches in pairs to reveal the night.

"Yamato, it's a combination of tonight's watches..."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Riesha"

"Yamato, what's wrong... ah..."

I gently block Lisha's mouth with my right hand, the girl I've been talking to.

And with the other hand, send a signal to everyone in the carriage convoy.

"Whoa, are you serious...!?"

"Everybody, hurry up and get ready..."

The children move in unison as I signal them. I interrupt my preparation for bed and run into the carriage.

"Mr. Rack...... what's this?

"Be quiet, Mr. Elsa..."

Racks and knights Lenhardt, who had traveled all the way to the Imperial City, were also reacting to my signals.

Only Elsa, the seller who just rendezvous from Orn, doesn't know what that means and asks Rack. But all at once, in an atmosphere of urgency, I was wondering what it was.

"Enemy strike" is a good sign, Yamato. "

Even though she is aware of the signal, Empress Sildria looks around with an invincible grin. She is the same daring and invincible girl.

As the word suggests, I perceived the danger, and I was giving everyone instructions to be vigilant.

"There's still a distance. Armed groups looming while laying siege"

"You think it's a siege? Isn't it just a burglar, Yamato"

"Oh, Leanhardt. Sounds like you've been trained to some degree."

With his sword and shield, Knight Lenhardt is also on guard around him.

Of all these carriers, I am the best in danger sensing. Five senses had improved when they moved to different worlds. I still have a distance from the other person, but that made me sense faster than anyone else.

"Sure... in the bandits and stuff around there, it doesn't look like it, Dana"

"Hmm. Mercenaries collapse, things like that."

Following that, Rack and Sildria are also sensing an approaching opponent. And Knight Lenhardt and Hunter Girl Risha, too, then recognize their opponents.

They are also masters of the path, with particular excellence in physical ability and five senses in this world.

"What do we do, Yamato? Do you want to make a forcible breakthrough in the carriage and get out of here?

Lenhardt, a knight who is also a soldier, proposes to withdraw before the siege net is completed.

There are only four adult combatants here: me, Lenhardt and Sildria, and Riesha.

Rack is a player who does not "call himself” aggressive, and old blacksmith Gaton cannot be forced to do so at his age. The seller Elsa is not an amateur, but there is some translation. I don't count for battle power.

The number of people approaching you is higher than that. And they're all murderous, willing to kill this one.

Just making the wrong decision about the operation, this is a situation that could also be a total extinction crisis.

"The retreat battle of darkness is often dangerous. Intercept here."

I, the head of the wagon carriage, make the decision.

Withdrawal fights with non-combatants are risky in this situation where the opponent's purpose is unknown. Then we chose the best way to intercept it while we were checking the terrain.

Along with that, I give instructions to everyone.

"Hehe, there's a prey."

"Hey, don't let them get away with it."

It was around the time I finished prepping.

With such a voice, armed groups come into view.

"As you can tell, a decent adult is only a little."

"If this pays anonymously, it's a choroy."

The opponents were mercenary collapsed thieves, as assumed.

Each was armed with a weapon of thought. There are many spears and swords, some of them with bows and shields.

"Hey, look! Some women are good! This is a good job."

"Hey, you killed all my requests."

The mercenaries are nasty laughing as they surround themselves.

There are still many mercenary regiments on this continent, where wars continue, who make these acts of looting their livelihoods (i.e.).

"Do you mind? Kids, catch them and sell them off to the slave traders... the ladies will have fun later... hehe"

"Right. The bastards are all dead. That completes our mission to destroy evidence..."

The mercenary collapse thus sets off along the streets of the border, sometimes attacking the loads of traders. It was also a time for mercenaries to hire mercenaries and take self-defense measures in each case.

"Hey, you guys, you can surrender."

"But if you surrender, you'll all have the same result."

"Oh yeah... then surrendering was pointless"

The mercenaries, who retain an overwhelming advantage in numbers, are the spare expression of nasty laughter.

The Uld wagon convoy, with only the women from their opponents, will look like the looting opponent of the treasure God has given them.

"What do you say, Yamato?

"Oh, Leanhardt. There's no problem."

We open our mouths when the other person enters the range.

The sieging enemy's power analysis is over. The number of opponents is high, but less skilled.

"I'm going to slash it in. Leanhardt is going to intercept at the defense, focusing on everyone and the wagon."

"You're still a lame guy... but I got it"

It was ok as per prior maneuvers. This time it is an interception battle with the carriage as its main unit.

Old Blacksmith Gaton's specialty carriage boasts a defense that does not pass through bows and arrows. Since the last time, the material of the giant dragon Agni had been added, making it safer with iron walls that prevented even fire and arrows.

"Hmm. My concubine is in charge of the attack, too, Yamato."

"On your own, Sildria"

Sildria, the free-handed sword princess, would be useless to stop.

Before the countless mercenaries under siege, I go along with her.

Since they are both maneuverability oriented, they are not equipped with shields or metal armor. It is a light step as if going for a walk.

"What, Temee et al! Are you out of your mind!?"

"What do you two want with this difference in power?!? Beginning..."

The mercenaries laugh at our actions.

There is still a distance between the mercenaries and the carriage, and no ordinary bows and arrows can be reached. It looks like a suicide act without cover, a special attack for just two.

"I want to ask these guys something. Leave some behind, Syldria."

"I'll try, but that's a hard order, Yamato."

Earlier mercenaries said the word "kill all requests”.

I mean, they were exactly ambushing here at the request of someone. To reveal it, we need to hear from the survival of mercenaries.

"Don't hit the Allied Flow Arrow, Sildria"

"Hmm, who am I talking to? And Yamato."

The aim of the opponent was to kill.

Then you don't have to cut it. We need to intercept them thoroughly and eradicate the thieves.

"Mm, ignore me!? Hey, kill me from these two!

"Hey, head!

While laying the siege, there were those who let their anger shout out loud. Probably the leader of the regiment.

It is the pinnacle of stupidity, such as a commander appealing to existence from himself on the battlefield.

Operation, we're on.

When I know where the other commander is, I raise my right hand and signal.

And the rear Uld carriage reacts.

"Everybody, stand down!

Rin's voice of hunter girl Risha echoes across the street. A small window with an opening and closing type installed on the carrier opens one after another.

Beyond the small window, there was a crowd of children with Uld-style crossbows (crossbows).

"First shot...... shoot!

A crossbow (crossbow) arrow is fired from the carriage along with Reesha's voice. Shortly afterwards, metal arrows at speeds exceeding hundreds of kilometres in the first place deathly kill the mercenaries one after the other.

"Let's go, Sildria. Don't hit a stray bullet."

"Hmm. Who are you talking to!

The shooting signals, and I run off with Empress Sildria.

Thus began a unilateral interception battle against the Raiders.
